The Franchise Company strongly supports learning and development. For this reason, it strives to be a dynamic learning organization.
What is a learning organization?
A learning organization is concerned with facilitating ongoing learning at all levels of the company. It understands that the long-term profitability of a company depends directly on the success of the individuals within it and that having the appropriate skills is crucial for that success. In a learning organization, everyone from the front-line employee to the CEO is involved in a process of continuous improvement. This happens both formally, through the sponsoring of professional seminars, and informally, through the establishment of a culture where information and best practices are freely exchanged.
Why have a learning organization?
A learning organization fits with our vision: To Inspire People to Excel
We may have the best systems, products, marketing program or trademarks in the world, but our competition will catch up. Our ultimate strength, therefore, is not in what we have, but in how we make the most of what we have, especially our human resources. Our sustainable competitive advantage is that we are constantly improving and increasing our organizational and individual capacity.
The importance of supervisor-led learning
In any business organization, eighty percent of new skill development occurs in the field. When the field is the classroom, the supervisor is the teacher. But to what extent is this potential for real-time learning maximized? A learning organization is especially concerned with this question. A skilled supervisor in the field can significantly affect the level of learning within the organization as a whole. A learning organization, therefore, provides supervisors with the skills and insights to guide the professional development of the individuals with whom they work. A supervisor conveys a strong positive message when he or she makes a sincere effort to help a team member get even better.
